When Comrade Xu arrived home, the door of the house was already wide open. His sister Ge Yuzhu was wiping the table with a rag. She had been very diligent since she was a child. She wiped the table every morning and then took all the tea cups in the house to the ditch not far in front.
Wash it again. Of course, it has rained a lot recently, and the water in the ditch in the village is relatively turbid, so lately she has been using a washbasin to fill the water tank at home to wash the teacups.
There was also movement in the kitchen. Tongdao Xu guessed that his mother was busy in the kitchen.
Ge Yuzhu, who was wiping the table, heard footsteps, turned around and saw Comrade Xu, and immediately showed a bright smile, "Brother, when did you go out to fish?"
Comrade Xu hummed, casually leaned the shrimp rake against the door, and carried the fish basket into the house.
Ge Yuzhu ran over curiously and stretched her head to look into his fish basket.
Seeing the fish in the half-fish basket, I was surprised and happy, "Ah, brother! You are so awesome. My second brother went out to do it all day yesterday, but he didn't do half as much as you did in the morning."
While they were talking, Xu Tonglu happened to come out of the room. Hearing these words, his face turned a little dark.
Xu Tongdao looked at him and didn't say anything. As long as this kid didn't act like a monster, he wouldn't teach him a lesson every time.
My mother probably heard the commotion. She came out of the kitchen and as soon as she entered the back door of the hall, she said: "I cooked porridge. There are still a few cooked fish left last night. You all go and wash your faces and eat quickly! Xiaodao
, you don’t need to go to the fair today, my fever is gone, I’ll go today!”
While talking, she also came to Xu Tongdao's side, stretched her head to look at the fish in the fish basket, and looked surprised when she saw half of the fish in the fish basket.
"So much? Our family can't finish it!"
"Then pick out the big ones and sell them for money!"
Xu Tongdao said casually, reached out and took out the 150 yuan he had just sold for the black fish and old turtle, and handed it to his mother.
At this time, Ge Xiaozhu, Xu Tonglu and Ge Yuzhu were all surprised.
Ge Xiaozhu: "This is it? Where did you get this money?"
Ge Yuzhu: "Brother, what is this?"
Although Xu Tonglu was also surprised, he just looked at Xu Tonglu and did not make a sound.
"I was lucky today. I got a snakehead fish and an old turtle weighing more than two kilograms. I just sold it to Mr. Xu Weizu, and the money from the sale, Mom! Take it and pay the tuition fees for Xiaolu and Yuzhu later."
As Tongdao Xu spoke, he put the money into his mother's hand, and then went to the kitchen to brush his teeth and wash his face regardless of their reaction.
The surprised voice of my younger sister Ge Yuzhu came from behind, "Blackfish? Old turtle? Brother, you are so lucky, right? You actually sold it for so much money, Mom! Brother, you are so lucky!"
How lucky am I?
When Xu Tongdao heard this, he laughed at himself.
Maybe after rebirth, things changed!
In the years before his rebirth, he had very bad luck.
For a few years, I always had the bad luck of having my house leak and it rained all night.
During the most difficult time, he even thought about dying. Life on earth was too painful.
…
When the whole family was having breakfast together, his mother asked him, "Xiaodao, you just said you couldn't finish the fish and picked some big ones to sell for money. Where should we sell them? Our place is quite far from the town, and it always rains.
It’s raining and it’s not easy to walk on the road..."
Her expression was obviously troubled.
Tongdao Xu looked at her and sighed secretly in his heart. His mother was very hardworking, but she could never find the shame to sell things. This was how it was in the original time and space.
Every time there were chickens, ducks, etc. for sale at home, his mother would always stand in a deserted area of the vegetable market, waiting for others to ask the price. She could not even open her mouth to shout, nor could she bargain with others.
The things we sell are always cheaper than what others sell.
So, Tongdao Xu turned his attention to his sister Ge Yuzhu.
"Yuzhu, later you pick out all the bigger fish and go to Xu Ping's house next door to borrow a small scale. Then you carry it and shout a few times in the village to see if anyone buys it. If they can't be sold, just
Ask your second brother to accompany you to the next village to sell, and you can keep the money for yourself and buy some things for you girls later."
In Xu Tongdao's impression, his sister has been cheerful and lively since she was a child, and her personality is more suitable for selling things than her mother.
So, he suddenly wanted to train her in this area.
Because when it comes to studying, among the three siblings, his sister Ge Yuzhu has the lowest talent, and her academic performance has been mediocre since she was a child.
In two years, there is probably no hope of being admitted to high school.
As for a girl, if she is not good at studying, if she wants to develop in the future, if she can train well in dealing with others, there may be some hope.
In this life, he doesn't want his sister to get married at the age of 18 like she did in the original time and space.
"Shall I sell it?"
Ge Yuzhu was surprised.
Mother Ge Xiaozhu frowned, "The jade beads are still small, so I should sell them!"
"It's not like I'm selling anything heavy, just jade beads!"
Xu Tongdao first said something to his mother, and then to his sister: "Yuzhu, let's just say this. After dinner, you go to Xu Ping's house to borrow a small scale and go and sell it! Sell things without stealing or robbing.
No shame! If you go to the next village to sell, call your second brother to prevent you from being bullied."
Ge Yuzhu looked at her mother, a little hesitant, but nodded, "Okay! Brother, I understand."
Ge Xiaozhu still frowned, "Xiaodao, do you really want the jade beads to be sold?"
Comrade Xu agreed.
He still has the same temperament and doesn't like to explain.
Xu Tonglu lowered his head and ate his meal without making a sound.
When Xu Tongdao was about to finish eating, Xu Tonglu raised his head and said, "I don't want to go out to fish today. Can I read those books from your third grade of junior high school?"
As soon as he said this, his mother and sister looked at him in surprise.
Tongdao Xu was also a little surprised. Since his father disappeared, his younger brother had never touched a book again. He remembered this very clearly.
Could it be that...he heard what I said to him last night? This kid was really pretending to be asleep at the time?
Tongdao Xu thought of this possibility.
I felt a little relieved.
If this is true, it means that his brother can still be saved.
So, Comrade Xu smiled, nodded and said: "Of course, I won't study anymore anyway. All my books are yours. You will be in the third grade of junior high school next semester. It's best to preview at this time."
Xu Tonglu looked at him expressionlessly, said nothing, lowered his head and continued eating.
Even so, Xu Tongdao, his mother and sister were still very happy.
Xu Tonglu, who has the best academic performance in the family, is finally willing to read again, which is definitely good news for them.
…
After the meal, Comrade Xu tidied up briefly and set off to the fair.
When he went out, his mother still argued with him, letting him rest at home while she went to Shangwei.
But she never argued with Xu Tongdao. In the end, the mother and son agreed that Xu Tongdao would go to work the day shift in Wei, and in the evening, the mother would replace him after dinner.
result……
When Comrade Xu came to the village and arrived at the polder, he happened to catch up with the captain calling everyone to go up to the polder to pick up the first ridge. He escaped from the job last night because he was rescuing people and returning home for the holidays. After all, he did not escape.
past.
Together with the villagers, we trudged hard on the muddy polder, carrying loads of earth.
